Chemical Tanks in UAE
Sulfuric Acid Storage Tanks
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is one of the most widely used industrial chemicals, requiring specialized, corrosion-resistant storage solutions. At Petron Thermoplast FZ LLC, we manufacture high-quality sulfuric acid storage tanks engineered to meet industrial safety standards and withstand highly corrosive environments.
Our tanks are constructed from materials like FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic), PP (Polypropylene), HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), and PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) to provide maximum chemical resistance and durability.
These storage tanks are ideal for industries such as chemical manufacturing, water treatment, metal processing, fertilizer production, and oil & gas where safe handling of concentrated sulfuric acid is critical.
A sulfuric acid storage tank is a specially designed vessel used to store H₂SO₄ (sulfuric acid), one of the most corrosive and reactive industrial chemicals. Due to its highly acidic nature, sulfuric acid requires tanks made from specific materials that resist chemical attack, temperature fluctuations, and pressure variations.
These tanks are used in industries such as:
- Chemical manufacturing
- Fertilizer production
- Battery plants
- Water treatment facilities
- Mining operations
- Oil refining
- Pharmaceutical processing
- Chemical manufacturingAt Petron Thermoplast, we understand the risks and demands of sulfuric acid handling. That’s why our tanks are:
| Material | Concentration Suitability | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) | Up to 80% | Cost-effective, excellent chemical resistance |
| PP (Polypropylene) | Up to 98% | Lightweight, high strength, suitable for moderate temperatures |
| FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) | 93–98% | High strength, customizable lining (e.g., thermoplastic liners) |
| PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) | Up to 98% | Exceptional purity, temperature resistance |
| Rubber-Lined Steel | 98% and above | Best for very high concentrations under strict safety codes |
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Tank Capacities | 500L to 100,000L+ |
| Tank Type | Vertical cylindrical, horizontal, cone bottom, or customized |
| Material Options | HDPE, PP, PVDF, FRP, Rubber-Lined Steel |
| Wall Thickness | Customizable based on volume and pressure |
| Accessories | Manhole, vent, level indicators, nozzles, flange fittings, drain valves |
| Temperature Range | -20°C to +120°C (depends on material) |
| Compliance | ASTM, ISO, and industry-specific safety standards |
When storing sulfuric acid, a tank must be designed with several critical factors in mind:
- Acid Concentration: Concentrated acid (above 93%) can behave differently than diluted acid and requires compatible linings or materials.
- Temperature Control: Elevated temperatures accelerate corrosion; proper insulation or heat-resistant materials are necessary.
- Ventilation & Fume Handling: Sulfuric acid vapors are corrosive—use proper venting and fume arrestors.
- Secondary Containment: Bund walls or leak detection systems should be installed for environmental protection.
- Flexible Expansion Joints: For thermal expansion of acid in larger tanks.

Always install tanks on level, reinforced foundations.
Use compatible fittings (PTFE-lined, PVC, or stainless steel as per requirement).
Avoid direct heat exposure and always follow material temperature limits.
Periodic inspections and leak testing improve long-term safety.
Ensure operators wear acid-resistant PPE when handling or connecting/disconnecting pipes.

The best material depends on the concentration of sulfuric acid. For concentrations up to 80%, HDPE and PP are effective. For 93–98%, FRP (with thermoplastic liners) or PVDF is recommended. For very high concentrations or extreme conditions, rubber-lined steel may be used.
Our sulfuric acid storage tanks can handle concentrations ranging from 10% to 98%, depending on the selected material and lining. We help you choose the right configuration based on your process needs.
Yes. We offer tanks made from UV-stabilized materials like HDPE and FRP, which are ideal for outdoor installation. Proper ventilation and secondary containment are also recommended.
Temperature tolerance depends on the material:
- HDPE: up to 60°C
- PP: up to 80°C
- PVDF: up to 150°C
- FRP: up to 120°C with suitable linings
